Many people aren't comfortable to show their less 'pleasant' sides and that in itself is something i do struggle with and mask a lot. And i get wanting to see less 'positive' rep and more serious and informed one. I just wish they could coexist without the fear of being invalidated

These kind of videos also showed me that people can still love. And that there isn't something wrong with me, it's just how I am.. even tho damage was done.
Although it really hurts because its just a bubble that many misunderstand for the mere reason they're presented as 'fun' scenarios

And its true that many people take these vids at face value and move on with that info as truth which is infuriating. I am not listened to often by my peers and not taken seriously although I found closure in the community online who likes to joke around sometimes. Room for joking or not,

I do understand what you mean though, it's just really sad to me that because of those people who romanticize things we can't feel comfortable to express our experiences without the need to prove and explain. I dont like people who refuse to inform themselves on matters

I hate when i get pixar cars edits on my fyp on tiktok. Now all my brain's gonna do all day is play the entire movie in the back of my retina

(And pray i dont have a breakdown in front of any manager today!!)

Another day another lets see if my ocd allows me to get my work done today!

(Also sadly not all people can afford to get diagnosed so i dont think the internet is that much of a demon for making jokes and memes sometimes. I personally can absorb information better if it's not delivered in a very formal format. Ofc i try to do fact checks as much as I can)

I dont wanna make this about my own experience but a lot of things started making sense why my life is a mess and everyone is so cruel to me thanks to consuming more content that delivers this kind of info in a friendly silly manner? I didn't think it's Such a distasteful example. But yeah sorry xD

Assuming this person doesnt pretend, i dont think it's okay to get mad with them. I think this kind of content can have positive impacts too, to show that people who struggle in similar ways are seen. Ik this isnt a big deal. But many people also mask or restrain themselves and it gets to a point.

The people who fetishized these disorders and turned them into aesthetics are fully to blame, even in such contexts where we feel the need to filter out what rep of neurodiversity is acceptable and what isn't. And that doesn't sit comfortably with me

I dont know about this person or her partner. I hope they're both happy and healthy, but this isn't entirely innacurate either (ik u said it too). But if they played pretend for clout then both of them can fuck off.

Hey! Sorry for the long reply. I just felt the need to reach out. I really see your point and where you come from but I personally think it's better to offer examples of people who actually Do this for the sake of clout and play pretend

"we're using AI to translate things so this manga takes 2 months instead of 5 months"
"our employees work 80 hour weeks to deliver the final game out faster"

I WOULD RATHER WAIT LONGER FOR A BETTER PRODUCT

I DO NOT MIND WAITING EXTRA TIME SO THE STAFF IS TREATED BETTER

PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE

For all the articles on generative AI, the media miss one simple point about generative AI: it's built to control us.

So im gonna keep calling selfish petty assholes who refuse to look beyond their 'preferred hcs' as media illiterate. I dont believe im throwing the term around for no reason. Im just too tired to articulate each time why i do it. And im sure many people who use it too feel similarly.

And truthfully yes, there Is more about media literacy. Real ways to analyze content based on a structure and form an interpretation of it. But even then, that shouldnt mean its The Only interpretation (ig unless the author specifies it dirrectly)

Also its important to note that not everyone needs a deeper reason to interpret a piece of media in a certain way. Some are just as valid for simply liking an interpretation better than the other

In a manner that Leave room for a lot of interpretations.
Maybe durin wasnt the best example but it was the most recent i have at hand rn in my drowsy morning state

Can i consider someone who doesnt believe in my hc 'media illiterate'? Yes and no. It solely depends. But I believe for most part Yes, because it is very important to not only think about ourselves and think about WHY this media is given to us in the manner that it is.

There are kids, who will see themselves in this char. There are adults who do. It's really not that deep but it does get deep the moment you start being an absolute asshole and ableistic piece of shit over it

Best example i can give rn (im so annoying with this one i wanna stop) is how many people interpret durin as kid coded and others interpret as an autistic coded adult. Both can be valid interpretations depending on the person's connection to this piece of writing. (As much as i Despise the kid hcs)

Therefore i agree and not agree with these takes 😭 maybe certain situations call for a more articulated call out than 'haha look who didnt read' petty accusations. But to me it still comes from that issue.

for And Why do people consume it a certain way. I dont think we just need to understand the media to consider ourselves literate in it. I think its important to acknowledge at the very least Why this media creates a space we have to share with certain people (some we may not like)

But at the same time aggressively refusing to accept a wider range of interpretations (even if you dont vibe with them) is. That's how i'd call it. Or maybe a better term would be selfishness? Being too sheltered? Sure. But it still looks like to me it lacks in understanding What that media is here

Everyone is entitled to their own interpretation of art. Whether they choose to be assholes about it or not is purely on them. So from this front, yeah. It's not really 'illiteracy'.

I also dont believe people who use 'media illiteracy' just throw it around for the sake of it. In fact, i've seen it used by people who view the media in more than one way (and as much as i hate to admit this, this includes antis too. They view it differently and it doesnt always have to be 'wrong')

Even the concept of getting aggressively mad at someone and throwing threats and other bs at them for interpreting something differently from you roots in not understanding things on a bigger layer. Mayb 'literate' is not the term to use here but theres something lacking for sure if that's how u act
